“Do not stop at “GO.” Do not collect $100.” I’m throwing in a Monopoly phrase there to get across that you need to STOP what you’re doing and go check outFAMILY CIRCLE EASY CROCHET MAGAZINE.

It’s All Pretend: Getting Ready for UnCommon Threads
I made it up. It’s a fake. A fraud. Phony. Fabricated. A sham. A stunt. I was like a confidence trickster (all you Fawlty Towers lovers will get the reference). I was asked to send in between 6 – 8 photos of me doing my craft for Uncommon Threads. Yeah. Me? Pictures? of me? Sure. [...]
